Submit Your Story

Nobody can share their story better than you can.

Domestic abuse is a pervasive issue in Canada, with over 1 in 3 women experiencing it in their lifetime. Yet, despite its prevalence, many stories of abuse remain unshared due to stigmas and biases. It is time to bring this topic out of the shadows and break the silence surrounding it. Empowerment comes from sharing stories, and we can inspire those impacted by domestic abuse to come forward and speak out.
